about screen recording to youtube

[whonderbah]

Hello,
I want to save one of my display to youtube with using live stream (private).
4k 30fps

Mac Studio
Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 32 GB Ram
Internet speed is 50-60mbps

I have 3 x 4k display and tons of working app/tabs. I tried some settings but couldn't find the ideal settings. (low quality/high usage)
So I with minimum cpu&ram usage, which settings should I chose?

I am not streaming to anyone just recording private, using youtube as video cloud.
So it can save with delay but don't want low quality.

(Another q: in activity monitor OBS at Kind tab, it shows Intel? Isn't OBS m1 native?)
version: OBS Studio 28.1.2 (64-bit)

Thank you.

in activity monitor OBS at Kind tab, it shows Intel? Isn't OBS m1 native?

That means you've installed the Intel not ARM version of OBS.

I am not streaming to anyone just recording private, using youtube as video cloud.

So record on OBS locally in high quality, then upload to YouTube.

I have 3 x 4k display and tons of working app/tabs.

That would definitely spin up the internal fan, you are asking too much from the M1. Have you looked into using an eGPU for your 4K displays?
